how to remove splash ads on start up

For Zonealarm go to C: Windows/All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Startup and right click the ZA Icon go to properties and add -nosplash to the end of the target line.
There is a space between -nopopup -nosplash

To Garbiologist,

Thank you so much for these instructions. It worked! I removed that pop up ad for Zone Alarm.

So that changes the target line from this:
"C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe"


to this:
"C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe -nopopup -nosplash"

Is that correct?

Thanks for your help. Now if I can just remove the splash ad for ad subtract...

Hi,

I just found out how to remove the Ad-Subtract splash screen:

To disable the splash screen go to START --> Programs --> StartUp.
Locate the AdSubtract file (+/- icon) in that menu, right-click on
it and select PROPERTIES. In the dialog box that pops up you will
see a text box labeled "Target". At the end of the target line TYPE
one (1) space and the following text:

-nosplash

For example, the entire line might be:
"C:\Program Files\AdSubtract\adsub.exe" -nosplash

Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'.

I thought it was quite nice of them to provide this solution, although they did say that upgrading would also do the trick (followed by a smilie).
